This paper considers the one-dimensional cutting stock problem with divisible items, which is a new problem in the cutting stock literature. The problem exists in steel industries. In the new problem, each item can be divided into smaller…
In this work, we use a multiobjective approach to address the lot sizing problem integrated with the cutting stock problem in a paper industry. We analyze the trade-offs and correlations which exist among the costs and their decision…
We propose a formulation of the stochastic cutting stock problem as a discounted infinite-horizon Markov decision process. At each decision epoch, given current inventory of items, an agent chooses in which patterns to cut objects in stock…
Two-dimensional bin packing problems are highly relevant combinatorial optimization problems. They find a large number of applications, for example, in the context of transportation or warehousing, and for the cutting of different materials…
This paper addresses the two-dimensional bin packing problem with guillotine constraints. The problem requires a set of rectangular items to be cut from larger rectangles, known as bins, while only making use of edge-to-edge (guillotine)…
This research investigates a multi-product capacitated lot-sizing and scheduling problem incorporating a novel learning effect, namely the period-based learning effect. This is inspired by a real case in a core analysis laboratory under a…
We present an $n\Delta^{O(k^2)}$ time algorithm to obtain an optimal solution for $1$-dimensional cutting stock problem: the bin packing problem of packing $n$ items onto unit capacity bins under the restriction that the number of item…
[libralesso_anytime_2020] proposed an anytime tree search algorithm for the 2018 ROADEF/EURO challenge glass cutting problem (https://www.roadef.org/challenge/2018/en/index.php). The resulting program was ranked first among 64 participants.…
In two-dimensional geometric knapsack problem, we are given a set of n axis-aligned rectangular items and an axis-aligned square-shaped knapsack. Each item has integral width, integral height and an associated integral profit. The goal is…
This paper introduces an integrated lot sizing and scheduling problem inspired from a real-world application in off-the-road tire industry. This problem considers the assignment of different items on parallel machines with complex…
Cutting and Packing problems are occurring in different industries with a direct impact on the revenue of businesses. Generally, the goal in Cutting and Packing is to assign a set of smaller objects to a set of larger objects. To solve…
In this paper the problem of selecting $p$ out of $n$ available items is discussed, such that their total cost is minimized. We assume that costs are not known exactly, but stem from a set of possible outcomes. Robust recoverable and…
About ten years ago, a paper proposed the first integer linear programming formulation for the constrained two-dimensional guillotine cutting problem (with unlimited cutting stages). Since, six other formulations followed, five of them in…
This paper formally proposes a problem about the efficient utilization of the four dimensional space-time. Given a cuboid container, a finite number of rigid cuboid items, and the time length that each item should be continuous baked in the…
Cutting plane methods play a significant role in modern solvers for tackling mixed-integer programming (MIP) problems. Proper selection of cuts would remove infeasible solutions in the early stage, thus largely reducing the computational…
We present novel mathematical models for inventory management within a reverse logistics system. Technological advancements, sustainability initiatives, and evolving customer behaviours have significantly increased the demand for repaired…
Maintenance optimization has been extensively studied in the past decades. However, most of the existing maintenance models focus on single-component systems and are not applicable for complex systems consisting of multiple components, due…
Taking advantage of contextual information can potentially boost the performance of recommender systems. In the era of big data, such side information often has several dimensions. Thus, developing decision-making algorithms to cope with…
We develop a novel mathematical programming approximation framework to tackle the stochastic knapsack problem. In this problem, the decision maker considers items for which either weights or values, or both, are random. The aim is to select…
This paper addresses the challenge of determining optimal cut-offs for a set of n items with m scores to maximize distinguishability. The term distinguishability is defined as the fraction of item pairs assigned to different buckets, where…
